Lopes junior helped secure the Lopes' 1st GCU Invitational team win
Grand Canyon junior Matthew Braley earned his first WAC Golfer of the Week award after his performance at this week's GCU Invitational.
Braley, a junior from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, led the Lopes to a win at their GCU Invitational by placing third individually with an 8-under-par 205. He opened the tournament with a pair of 5-under-par rounds of 66 to move to the top of the leaderboard.
Braley's 2-over-par 73 in the third round was strong enough to secure a top-3 finish and allow GCU to clinch the team title for the first time. The Lopes' 18-under-par 834 was four strokes ahead of runner-up Fresno State in a 23-team field.
The Lopes are back in action on Monday and Tuesday, when they compete in the Duck Invitational at the Eugene Country Club in Eugene, Oregon.
